They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green. Psalm 92:14
One day I was pondering my age which will soon be 73 and said oh my goodness when did I get to be an ‘old person’? Seemingly I felt as if I jumped from 45 to 65 and beyond and our culture does nothing to build up older people. My dream is still to be a flight attendant yeah go laugh but it is true.
When you have the milestone birthday of 40 often times party goers find it humorous to bring walkers, canes, and so forth but when you get there it is not a laughing matter. Some day we all may fall and not be able to get up.
Today I am directing comments to the younger yuppie generation. Respect your elders and their elders. Our young nation was built on blood, sweat, and tears and you are to honor and respect those who paved the way for the life and freedoms you enjoy. Don’t shuffle your elders off to ‘a home’ but learn from them and live and respect them.
PRAYER: Father guard my heart from worry and fear and help me each and every day embrace where I am. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
